Interesting Archaeological Researches in
Arizona "A Ruined City's Outlines
Traced and a Great Volcanic Disaster
Evolved Therefrom- Relies of the Age
of Bone and Stone Dug Up.
WASHINGTON CRY, Nov. S.-A CORE
spondent in The Post, writing from Tucson,
A. T., says that some very important dis
coveries concerning prehistoric races have
been made during the past year by Professor
Frank Cushman, who has charge OF an ex-
ploring expedition in the Salt River valley
in southern Arizona Tho remains of an
ancient city were found. Investigation
showed that the city extended ont in all
directions from palace or temple. The
foundations of many of the houses had been
exposed, many OF them consisting of but a
single room; but now and then there would
be one of larger and more ample proportions,
and in most of these larger one there had
been found burial vaults and skeletons Two
thousand of these skeletons had been ex-
humed There was general burial ground
where the dead seemed to have been thrown
in promiscuously.
Large quantities of pottery were found in
the tombs and dwellings The finer pieces
were of many different shades, but were all
of light color, with black markings and fig
ures, reminding one greatly of ancient Egyp-
tian pottery. The inferior specimens look
much like that made by the Arizona Indians
of to-day. No iron, copper or metal instru-
menJs of any kind have been found, but
great quantities of stone axes stone pestles
and mortars bone needles aud knives and
other such materials as belong to the stone
age. But the skill with which these articles
were made was far superior TO that shown
by the Indians found in America by the
whites
Mr.. Cushman had found good deal of
wheat and barley and other grain all of it in
a charred and blackened condition, and he
had also traced several canals and had found
the ruins of large reservoir so that he had
no doubt that extensive irrigation had been
carried on, and that all the valley had been
under cultivation. He thinks there must
have been a population of at least -, 900 i'll
the ruined city he was exploring, and that
most of the inhabitants lived by cultivatina
the soil of the surrounding country.
Mr.. Cushman thinks that these ancient
dwellers Suffered from some great calamity
like the inhabitants of Herculaneum and
Pompeii 1t was probably an earthquake.

New ORLEANS. Nov. s-A dispatch from
Pattersonvile says that the town is quiet
and that large number Of negroes, who are
majority of the population, have left the
place in consequence of the affair of Satur-
day. The shooting of four white men
on Phair's plantation aroused the au-
thorities and they decided to search
the town for arms, and at the same time
arrest several prominent colored men, who it
is said had threatened to burn the town. As
the troops entered the town they met the
negroes standing in body. Hot words fol-
lowed, and the sheriff's posse fired into the
crowd, killing fournegroes After the shoot
ing the negroes fled to the woods and the

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Express train No

The engineer of the rear train JAKE Berry,

Berry claims that 10 signals were out for
the express and that he was on his right
time and had waited twelve minutes for the
express to get out Of the way. The cause of
the accident is not exactly known, but was
probably due to a mix-up of tracks owing te
repairs at the Hackensack bridge.

A ST. LOUIS BANK IN TROUBLE,
Because a Director Fails in His Millinery
Business-The Doors Closed.

Business-The Doors Closed,
ST LOUIS Mo-, Nov S--The doors of the
Fifth National bank We're closed Monday
afternoon. There was run on the bank in
the morning. which resulted in the closing
until securities held by the institution could
be realized on. The immediate cause OF the
rush is supposed to be the failure of the
wholesale millinery establishment of Rosen-
thai & Co. last week, l. B. Rosenthal being
one of the directors of the Fifth National
bank. The bank is believed to be heavily
involved. The capital stock of the bank was
$500, 900, and the deposits are upward of ST.,
000, 900
The bank had to meet heavy run Friday,
and as the depositors continued to withdraw
their funds Monday, the bank closed its doors
a few minutes before / o'clock. Henry
Overstoltz, formerly mayor of this city, is
president, and c. c. Crecelins cashier Mr.,
Overstoltz has been sick for some time, and
the management has been entirely in the
hands of the directors, some of whom now
appear to be quite heavily indebted to the
bank The failure affects several firms in
this city to some degree, and three concerns
whose names have not TRANSFERRED are re-
ported to he crippled. 1t is claimed that de-
positors will be paid in full Within the last
month the stock of the bank has been sold at
105 and Monday morning it found ready
